My Christmas Submission

seems like i am the last to get my submission in; it's not too late right? since it's 7:14pm,the 31st on my clock.

I unfortunately left my score at home(it was handwritten)

What a charming, if somewhat sad song!

Maybe its a fortune that you posted your submission „so late“, since its melancholic mood perfectly fits the imagination of the last piece performed on a party or the piano player is playing his ultimate song while the last guests are leaving the restaurant.

I suspect that it is a live-recording. If so, congratulations to that beautiful performance and a happy New Year.

happy new year 🥳

Hello Wieland,

thank you truly for this and happy new year to you. 🥳 I did title the song "bittersweet" but doubted if it fit that title well. After hearing your advice, I think I will definitely keep the name, since it is tinged with a few sad harmonies. 

glad to hear that I came at the right time(and not just "procrastinating" you see) but I have to apologize about the abrupt splicing of the recordings; I was trying to prepare my materials before going on this family trip, where a real piano will not be available. Anyhow, I am glad I got my submission in on time. 

This is EXCELLENT. Points for playing this on the piano. And I love the jazzy style, I absolutely love jazz harmony!

Hello Mike,

thank you so much, and happy new year to you! I know the audio quality isn't the best, but I am elated you enjoyed the work, especially for the 7ths and 9ths that were added.

Hey @Mooravioli!

It sounds like you took a really nice and simple melody and did a little jazz re-harmonization.  I'm assuming that the melody is your own original one - but have you ever thought of re-harmonizing other well known Christmas Carols or even other well known melodies not associated with Christmas?  There's a whole world of potential there!  I just recently discovered the potential of combining different Christmas Carols together at once into Mash-up's.  Thanks for sharing - I enjoyed the warmth of the piano tone and your performance gave it a real sincerity.  Happy New Year!
